5 minutes is too short. I suggest a 30 minute or more time limit for spectating in these rooms.
If you are spectating in QA rooms because you just want to talk to your friends, I say you /en, /sp before your time is over. If someone doesn't do that, he's probably away and he probably wont be back soon.
